Chastity at The Recroom - Concert Photos

I caught Whitby Ontario post-punk band Chastity's live show after a long time of hearing about them. They played The Recroom to premiere their Death Lust film and perform with Greys, Casper Skulls and surprise special guests Alexisonfire.

After a few tunes to get us warmed up, the band rolled the film and started playing the album. The film is the visual accompaniment to the band's Death Lust album. It's a movie with a live music soundtrack. It all came off as perfectly artistic and engrossing while being genuine and honest. No pretension or affectation here.

The band takes the listener and audience member on a journey. There are wild dynamic shifts throughout the set. The audience did what they were told. Shut up during quiet parts and go nuts during the heavy parts.

The band announced that they're starting work an a new album now and I'm excited for what they do next.
